Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Although spirituality was considered an important quality, it was not the focus of the treatment promoted by Vincent de Paul. According to de Paul, humility provided a lens for the recognition and acknowledgement of both personal talents and limits. Neither practicality nor obedience were qualities emphasized by de Paul.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Although treatment that emphasized a curative point may have had some more humane aspects that were absent from some earlier treatments for mental illness, humane treatment was not the most essential element incorporated in this concept. Belief in a curative point presented the possibility that those with mental illness could actually improve rather than just be maintained. The curative point did not emphasize specific interventions, nor did it advocate specific herbal remedies.
